Li Hongwei's heart in catching the scorpion has been fluctuating in the past two days. If it weren't for his mother's sadness, he wouldn't want to go to school anymore.
Even with his studies, he was not famous for going to school, and he still caught scorpions. He earned more in one night than a worker who worked in a month... His lady also went to work, she was only 20 yuan a month. But it sounds like a wage earner, but in fact it is really not as good as him.
He really told his niece about this idea.
After hearing this, Mei Xiaoran immediately objected, "Uncle, what you think is so beautiful. Although the salary is not high, my aunt has income every month and has stable income. Scorpion catching is seasonal and unstable. It will not be a few days later. What do you catch after the scorpion? We are students now, so we should study hard. Then you think about it, why do we catch the scorpion this time to make money?"
Li Hongwei thought for a while, "Isn't he using the right method."
"You also know that you have used the right method, but the method is what I read from the book. This is called knowledge. To put it vulgarly, knowledge is money. You now think that you can make a few dozen yuan a day. Then if others know this method and rush to catch scorpions, can you still catch so many?"
Li Hongwei said nothing.
"Uncle, if you have a lot of knowledge, you will not only be able to make money by catching scorpions, but your path will become wider and wider in the future."
"Ran Ran, what you said makes sense, I should still learn."
Li Hongwei had this awareness, Mei Xiaoran was also very happy, and took the opportunity to ask him for pocket money, "Uncle, you can make a lot of money by selling scorpions these days. My dad is the most cunning. He came in and sold them. After the Scorpion and you two were evenly divided, Leilei and I could only look at it eagerly, and didn't dare to hum."
Li Hongwei laughed, "Why don't you give it to you, fifty per person, is that enough?"
Even if Mei Xiaoran didn't ask him for it, he wouldn't be embarrassed to take it alone. At the beginning, it was a gradual idea, saying that he wanted to help Li Mingli pool the money to buy a car. Now that Li Mingli has bought all of his bicycles, he would take away all the three of them. It was too demeaning.
"Only fifty?"
In fact, fifty is quite a lot. Mei Xiaoran asked this deliberately, just to know how Li Hongwei planned for the remaining money.
"I don't have much money anymore."
Li Hongwei told
She said, "Give your grandmother three hundred. Buying a car for your aunt cost nearly two hundred, plus it costs you two fifty for one person, which is almost six hundred, and I don't have two hundred yuan."
"So you gave it to grandma?"
Mei Xiaoran couldn't help but praise him, "Uncle, don't you see that you are quite filial?"
"That's a must."
Li Hongwei is so proud...
Another week passed in a blink of an eye, and the autumn vacation was almost over.
Mei Xiaoran went to Ouyang to learn English every afternoon this week. Her English improved a lot. Although she did not take the exam, she could not tell her true level. But now if she takes out an English text for her to read, she can also read it smoothly, and she can also spell it out when she sees an unfamiliar word. Although the pronunciation is not necessarily accurate, it is better than she did not know what to say before. Read it well.
Mei Zhonghua had a bumper harvest in the business of catching scorpions, but he worries about the business of clothing.
After a week of tossing, only five pieces of clothes were sold, and the money was all on the goods, but the goods could not be paid.
"Dad, tomorrow I will go to the market with you."
Of course, Mei Xiaoran knew that her father's eyes were not so good, but the style of the clothes, from the heart, is much better than the clothes made of cloth bought by the common people.
In the afternoon, Mei Xiaoran ran to find Li Mingyun and bought twenty pairs of labor protection gloves from the factory where her mother worked.
In the early morning of the next day, Mei Zhonghua took Mei Xiaoran to Anping Township.
Mei Xiaoran found that although many people would come to look at clothes, there were few who were really willing to pay for them... After all, the people still have no money in their hands. After all, the reform and opening up will not come out until the end of this year. Begin execution. The common people still resist the speculative capitalist model of market trading.
Her dad's move was not wrong, it was too far ahead.
But no matter what she does, she needs the first person to eat crabs, and she is willing to support her dad in doing so.
Mei Xiaoran took out the prepared cardboard and yelled everyone to come over, "Patronize the bargain, buy a piece of clothing and give a pair of labor insurance gloves. The purchase is limited to 20 pieces!"
"What do you mean?"
Someone asked without understanding.
"Just buy a piece of clothing and get a pair of gloves, buy early and get it early, and give you 20 pairs of gloves today.
If it's late, it won't be. "
"real or fake?"
"Black and white, who dares to speak nonsense?"
A few minutes later, someone sneaked over to buy a piece of clothing, picked a pair of gloves and ran away.
With the first person, there is a second person and a third person.
Until the twenty pairs of gloves were delivered, Mei Xiaoran called her dad to go home.
"Ran Ran, business is just right now, why don't you let it go?"
"Dad, let's go home now, I promise, your future business will be better than today."
This is Mei Xiaoran’s hunger marketing thought of for her dad. The clothes made of corduroy are soft and resistant to dirt. As long as they are worn for a few days, they will have word of mouth... Previously, her dad sold too little. Not enough influence.
Mei Zhonghua listened to her daughter's words and packed up and went back.
The next day Mei Zhonghua was anxious to go out. Mei Xiaoran refused to let him go out, saying that she had been busy recently. After finishing his farm work, her father went to the countryside to sell clothes. He was so tired that he asked her father to rest at home for a day.
Business people, when there is business, don't talk about taking a day off, saying that it is a waste of time to scratch your head after a long rest.
Mei Zhonghua was resting at home this day, but it really made him anxious... There were still fifty pieces of clothes in the sack, all of which were single clothes. If the day changes again, it will be completely cold and no one can wear it. Such thin clothes. He really regretted that he didn't listen to his daughter's words. He had to buy so many items in one breath and didn't see if he could sell it.
When Mei Zhonghua came to Anping Township again on the third day, and just stopped the bicycle, someone came up and asked, "Comrade, are you still in stock for the last clothes? Can I buy two?"
"Yes, yes!"
You really got the girl right
Mei Zhonghua was so excited that she almost cried, and quickly took out her clothes for her to choose.
After picking two pieces of clothes, the man directly asked him for labor protection gloves, "Last time I bought clothes and gave gloves, why didn't you give them gloves today?"
"Send, but today there are only the last fifty sets, there are no more."
Mei Zhonghua really admired her girl, she had expected everything, but she didn't come a day later, the effect was really good.
I heard that there were gloves to be delivered, and the news spread quickly. In just one day, the remaining fifty sets of clothes were also sold out, which meant that Mei Zhonghua had emptied all the goods this time.
